JAZZ A CONFRONTO 14 - ENRICO RAVA - HLL 101-14_New Upload

It takes just two lines to introduce this record:

The first is that in this quartet has developed the genius of Massimo Urbani, born into a world of lyricism and expressive power, with a creative multi-language, in a space "unique", but without any border.

JAZZ A CONFRONTO 26 - STAFFORD JAMES - HLL 101-26

Stafford James has been in the front lines for 30 years. He is thankful for the early encouragement he received from artists like Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner and his mentor, bass giant Charles Mingus.

“I will always appreciate the way he approached me as a young musician trying to get out of the bucket and find my own direction”.

He recorded with the legendary Albert Ayler (“Music is the Healing Force”), with Dexter Gordon (including “Home Coming”), with the fusion oriented guitarist John Scofield, with Jimmy Heath, Pharoah Sanders and nine albums with the late trumpeter Woody Shaw. 

The last 15 years have been solely dedicated to his ensemble, The Stafford James Project.
